In this creative exploration of climate change and the big
questions confronting our high-energy civilization, Adam Briggle
connects the history of philosophy with current events to shed
light on the Anthropocene (the age of humanity). Briggle offers a
framework to help us understand the many perspectives and policies
on climate change. He does so through the idea that energy is a
paradox: changing sameness. From this perennial philosophical
mystery, he argues that a high-energy civilization is bound to
create more and more paradoxes. These paradoxes run like fissures
through our orthodox picture of energy as the capacity to do work
and control fate. Climate change is the accumulation of these
fissures and the question is whether we can sustain
technoscientific control and economic growth. It may be that our
world is about change radically, imploring us to start thinking
heterodox thoughts.
